Re: Rake
[ QUOTE ]
I'm moving to New Zealand for a year in two weeks, and there's a new tiny poker room in Auckland. I emailed the floor manager about the rake, and this is the response I got:
"At the Poker Zone we offer a $2/$4 (big blind $2) structured game with a $30 minimum buy-in and take a $1 Hand fee per hand. Our medium structured game is a $5/$10 (small blind $2) with a $60 buy-in and we take a 10% rake with a cap. Our higher limit game is a $10/$25 game with a 5% rake and cap. Currently we do not offer any no-limit
games."
I have absolutely no experience in B&M play, so I don't really know if this is acceptable or not. It seems a tad high to me, but maybe it's perfectly normal?
How much should I tip? A dollar in each pot I win?

If you can't play the $10/25, don't go. IIRC (from the post, I don't go near the Island of Sheepf*cking) the cap at 5/10 was absurd, something like 10. And that $1/hand/player thing is the worst rake I've ever heard of in a cardroom. It's unbeatable.
Tip $1, just like you would anywhere else.
